The Lerter of Gov. McEnery on the
Ford Case.

We publish to-day, letter from
Gov. McEnery to the ladies Of Grand
Cane, in De Soto parish, on the sub
ject of the Ford pardon. Such a let
ter might have been expected from
such a man. Gov. McEnery is Of a
lofty, chivalric nature; he is noble
type of that noble race that has given
to the South its highest cast of civil
ization, and has made the Southern
gentleman in the eyes of all men the
examplar of all that is noble and good.
In behalf of the friends of DR..
Ford, among whom may be numbered
the entire people of Northeast Louisi-
ana, we thank Gov. McEnery for the
frank expression of these noble views.
He has by this act done much to en-
shrine himself in the hearts of our PEG
pie, and we feel that in the years to
come the recollection of his nobility
of action and greatness of heart in this
matter will be a sweet and pleasant
memory to all both here and elsewhere
who prize the virtue of woman and the
happiness of the domestic circle.
Pointedly, clearly and without eva
sion Gov. McEnery declares : "Had I
the power to do so, DR.. Ford would
have been pardoned before have been
pardoned before conviction" Moth
ing need be added to prove how
strongly so noble nature as Gov.
McEnery's sympathizers with the act
of DR.. Ford. The governor is tho
roughly in line with the best and no.
blest sentiment of his people; those
who know him best are not surprised
at the position lie has taken.
We lay aside all political consider
atoms to-day in the discussion Of Gov.
McEnery's letter, and say to him
frankly that the Times, no less than
his most ardent political sympathizer,
returns its sincere thanks in behalf of
our people for the manly expression of
his manly views. We shall not soon
forget what he has done.-[S shreveport

THE RADICALS To CARRY LOUISIANA
IN 1883.
WASHINGTON, !

WASHINGTON,
Feb. s, 'S7. I
| have, heard from creditable po-
litical source that there is conspira-
cy Matching in Louisiana which will
surprise the President. Naturally the
President is counting on a solid South
in the campaign for a second term
Unless he looks out he will not have
Louisiana at his back. This State is
noted for its political intrigues and
trades. The Republicans of Louisi-
ana are now in combination with the
anti-administration Democrats. If
Cleveland should lie renominated the
Republicans claim they can easily car
ry the State. A leading Republican
manager Of this State said to-day: elf
Cleveland is nominated we can carry
the State. We could not carry it
against Hill nor against any straight
out Democrat, bnt we can carry it
against Cleveland"
elbow will it be done Will the an
administration Democrats vote the
Republican ticket ~
80, no. They would lose standing
If they were to vote the Republican
ticket"
perhaps they will simply refrain
from voting"
"That is not it. The anti-adminis-
tration Democrats would not show
their opposition on the surface. dare
say that the majority of them may vote
for Mr.. Cleveland if he should be nom
mated, but they would give us the
State for all that"
"Please explain"
cit is very simple. We would be
permitted to have our votes honestly
counted, that is all. There is deci-
ded Republican majority in Louisiana
if the vote is counted straight. Well,
the anti-administration Democrats arc
in the majority. They hate Cleve-
land, and if he is nominated they pro-
pose to poison him with his own medi-
cine. They will say that they have
reformed, and, inspired by the noble
example of reform administration,
they will try in the future to change
their wicked political methods, so tar
as the national ticket is concerned.
But it is understood chat they are
J to hold on to their State government"
This same politician, continuing his
conversation, said; eve down in Lou
isiana could make good trade on al
most any Republican who. could be
named except John Sherman. We
would not make combination on him.
His connection with the Returning
Board juggle of 1876 has made it for
ever impossible for him to get the voice
|of Louisiana. But we could make a
good trade with Blaine, with Allison,
Harrison, OF almost any other Repub-
lican who could be named" This
gentleman also spoke of the Matthews
case. He said "The President must
have a qneor idea of Southern politics
if he thinks he can make any capital
for the Democratic party out of Mat
thews' rejection. The negroes of the
South have no use for a darkey who
turns Democrat. There is not a dar-
key in the entire South who will not
turn Democrat for an office. But the
other darkies who get nothing hate the
colored Democrat with a passion un-
known to the white race. The Presi-
dent can conciliate just as many dar-
kies as he has offices to give them and
no MORE Special to the New York
World.

Cure for Piles.

Piles are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight in the back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing
the patient to suppose he has some
affection of the kidneys or neighboring
organs. At times, symptoms Of indi-
gestion are present, fatulency, uneasi-
ness of the stomach, etc. A moisture
like perspiration, producing a very
disagreeahle itching, after getting
warm, is a common attendant. Blind,
Bleeding and Itching Piles, yield at
once to the application of DR.. Bosan-
quo's Pile Remedy, which acts direct
ly upon the parts affected, absorbing
the Tumors, allaying the intense Itch
ing, and eFecting a permanent cure.
